As a teenager you canβt bypass the feeling of looking awesome and perfect. Thatβs what happened with me as I saw some pesky silver strands peeping out of my dark brown hair. I was so disappointed and discouraged. A feeling of low self-esteem as I thought something was wrong with me. So I started covering those few silver strands with heena.
After a few years it was difficult for me to cover the stubborn greys with Heena as their number increased. Then at the age of 23 came the hair dye. Dyeing hair gave me the power of βhidingβ the silvers and made me feel better than Heena, so I continued colouring my hair for about 14 years. For years I kept on searching how to cover the greys in a natural way as the hair dye damage was clearly visible in my dry, brittle and lifeless hair. While scrolling down on internet I saw a beautiful young girl with her natural grey hair, it provoked the urge of giving up dye in my mind. Then I started digging for more βstuffβ on internet as I was in a deliema to go grey in such a young age. And I come across some FB groups with lot of inspiration and encouragement of women giving up dye. Every day inspiration from those groups and a positive consent from my husband gave me the courage to take the decision.
36, I found it as the best age to embrace my natural colour and I ditched the hair colour.
You look amazing, I am so happy that I have chose also to embrace my gray hair.
Thanks a lot.
What a fantastic inspiration you are. You look years younger with your grey hair, the style you have chosen is bold but you carry it very well. Iβm just starting my journey to embrace my grey and I cannot wait to see the end result. Thank you for sharing your story.
Thanks a lot, Glad to know that. Just focus on why you are on this journey and stick to that thought. You will be unstoppable!!
Have a great time..
Heyβ¦. you are awesome not just with looks but your attitude towards accepting yourselfβ¦. Iβm too almost your age and since last year stopped coloring my hair(since Septemberβ19)β¦.. and also follow the same Mantra βthis too shall passββ¦.
Itβs very liberating actuallyβ¦. people everywhere are the same get mixed reactions all the timeβ¦.it is rewarding when someone says βyou inspire me to go grayβ or when someone says βyou carry your look so gracefullyβ. Thanks for penning your experience.
Thatβs so awesome! I am so glad more women in India are coming up with this bold decision that too with confidence. Best of luck and keep inspiring!
